So I'm wondering: why not push the masking off of the SME mask into the
__va() macro instead of defining a specific __sme_va() one?
I mean, do you even see cases where __va() would need to have to
sme_mask left in the virtual address?
Because if not, you could mask it out in __va() so that all __va() users
get the "clean" va, without the enc bits.
Hmmm.
Btw, this patch is huuuge. It would be nice if you could split it, if
possible...
Thanks.
